Regardless of your experience level, we urge you to read this entire instruction manual carefully.

BASIC RULES FOR FIREARM SAFETY1. ALWAYS treat every firearm as if it is loaded.

a. Never take anyone else’s word that a firearm is unloaded.b. Always visually inspect the chamber (and magazine, if equipped) yourself to ensure that the firearm is completely unloaded even if you just witnessed someone else perform this safety check.c. Always remove the magazine and lock the bolt to the rear before laying down or handing someone a firearm.d. Do not load your firearm until you are ready to shoot.

2. NEVER point the muzzle of a firearm at anything you do not wish to destroy.a. Always pay close attention to the direction of your muzzle at all times when carrying your firearm.b. Always unload your firearm before navigating difficult terrain (i.e., fence crossings, hills, rocky or loose terrain, tree stands, etc.).

3. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.a. Keep your finger on the receiver or trigger guard until ready to fire.

4. ALWAYS be sure of your target and beyond before firing.a. Understand what is behind your target should the bullet pass through.b. Understand where the bullet will go should you miss your target.c. Make sure your backstop is adequate to stop your bullets and large enough to accommodate for any misplaced shots.d. Never shoot at or near rocks, hard surfaces, water, or any other area which may cause a ricochet or make your bullet go off course and cause injury, death, or damage.

5. NEVER leave your firearm unattended or unsecured.a. Someone, including a child, may pick up and cause damage, injury, and death with your firearm.b. Always instruct children and others in your household to respect firearms, and stress all aspects of firearm safety.

• Refer to a qualified instructor for help in training, and supervise all activities closely.

c. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR FIREARM!

WARNING: IF YOU TOUCH THE TRIGGER, YOU MUST EXPECT THE FIREARM TO FIRE. YOUR CAREFUL ADHERENCE TO THE SAFETY RULES CAN AVOID AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE, AND YOU WILL THEREBY AVOID ACCIDENTAL INJURY AND DEATH. YOU ARE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFE USE OF THE FIREARM AND FOR ANY DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH CAUSED WITH IT.

WARNING: THIS FIREARM MAY DISCHARGE WHEN A ROUND IS FED INTO THE CHAMBER OR IF IT IS DROPPED/JARRED VIOLENTLY REGARDLESS OF THE POSITION OF THE SAFETY SELECTOR AND WITHOUT THE TRIGGER BEING PULLED. THEREFORE, EXTRA CARE AND STRICT ADHERENCE TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS BY THE FIREARM USER IS MANDATORY FOR MINIMIZING THE RISK OF ACCIDENTS, DAMAGE, INJURIES, AND DEATH.

DANIEL DEFENSE®

3.1 | CAUTIONS

EQUIPMENT CAUTIONS1. ALWAYS BE SURE CHAMBER, BORE, SUPPRESSOR (IF EQUIPPED), AND ACTION ARE CLEAN AND CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS. Keep your firearm clean and well lubricated to ensure it will function correctly and safely.2. ALWAYS USE HIGH-QUALITY, COMMERCIALLY MANUFACTURED AMMUNITION THAT IS CLEAN, DRY, IN GOOD CONDITION, AND OF THE APPROPRIATE CALIBER FOR YOUR FIREARM. Firearm and ammunition manufacturers design their products within exacting engineering safety limits. Hand-loaded and remanufactured ammunition are sometimes outside those limits and can potentially cause malfunctions or damage to the firearm as well as cause injury, death, or damage to other property.3. ALWAYS CHECK THAT AMMUNITION IS CLEAN AND UNDAMAGED BEFORE CYCLING INTO CHAMBER. Forcing damaged ammunition into the chamber could damage your firearm and could result in injury, death, or damage to property.

SHOOTING CAUTIONS1. NEVER consume alcohol or take drugs when handling firearms. a. Seek the advice of a qualified doctor if you are taking medication to ensure you are fit to shoot and handle your firearm safely.2. ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including but not limited to safety shooting glasses and ear protection, when shooting or near others who are shooting.

a. Failure to use proper ear protection will cause permanent hearing damage.b. Failure to use protective shooting glasses can result in damage to eyes and blindness from flying particles, propellant gasses, ricocheting fragments, and other debris.c. Always encourage spectators and others nearby to wear PPE.

3. ALWAYS keep your firearm’s safety selector set to the “SAFE” position until your sights are on your target and you are ready to fire.4. ALWAYS be careful of the direction your ejection port is pointed.

a. Spent cartridges can be ejected with enough force to cause injury to those standing near the shooter.b. If the ejection port is obstructed your firearm will malfunction, becoming jammed with spent cartridges.

5. NEVER put your finger in the trigger guard until your sights are on the target and you are ready to shoot.

a. Keep your trigger finger on the stock or chassis, between the bolt handle and trigger guard opening, when you are not ready to fire.

6. ALWAYS be sure of your target and what is beyond it.a. Bullets can travel great distances and still cause great damage and even death.b. If there is any doubt about your target or backstop or anything else, DO NOT SHOOT!

7. NEVER fire a firearm if you suspect water is in the gun barrel.a. If your firearm is exposed to heavy rain, fog, or other sources of water, open the action and tilt the firearm forward, allowing water to drain before firing. b. Be sure to clean and lubricate a wet firearm as soon as possible.

DELTA 5® MANUAL P 7

8. NEVER shoot your firearm near any flammable or explosive materials. a. Understand that flames or burning gunpowder may exit from your muzzle or ejection port.

9. NEVER fool around or act carelessly when handling or being around firearms.a. Your carelessness can result in severe damage, injury, or death.

10. NEVER follow another person when your firearm is loaded and ready to fire.a. Keep the safety selector set to “SAFE.”b. Always pay attention to and control the direction of the muzzle.

MALFUNCTION CAUTIONSIF YOU EXPERIENCE A FAILURE TO FIRE:1. ALWAYS keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. 2. Wait 30 seconds.

a. If a hangfire (slow ignition) has occurred, the round will fire within 30 seconds. If round still does not fire after 30 seconds:

• Cycle the bolt to eject the round.• Examine the primer.

- If the firing pin indent on the primer is light, off center, or nonexistent, have your firearm examined by a competent gunsmith before continuing to fire. - If the firing pin indent on primer appears normal (in comparison

with similar previously fired rounds), assume faulty ammunition; segregate the misfired round from all other live ammunition and empty cases, reload, and continue firing.

NOTE 1: It is normal for a light firing pin indent to appear on the primer of cartridges that have been fed into the chamber but not fired.

NOTE 2: Dispose of any misfired rounds in accordance with the ammunition manufacturer’s instructions.

CLEANING AND STORAGE CAUTIONS1. ALWAYS make sure your firearm is completely UNLOADED before you attempt to clean or store your firearm.2. ALWAYS store your firearm and ammunition SEPARATELY and SECURELY out of reach of anyone who should not have access to them.

a. Keep it out of reach of children and others who are not trained in the safe handling of firearms.b. Keep firearms and ammunition locked securely when not in use to prevent them entering the wrong hands.

FIREARM ABUSE CAUTIONS

1. NEVER abuse or mistreat your firearm.a. Keep, carry, and use it carefully.

2. NEVER use it for any purpose other than shooting.3. NEVER alter parts.

3.2 | TRIGGER GUARD

The trigger guard is the strip below the trigger to protect it from damage and to help prevent accidental discharge. The integrated trigger guard of the Daniel Defense DELTA 5 is oversized to accommodate shooters wearing gloves.

WARNING: KEEP YOUR FINGER OUT OF THE TRIGGER GUARD UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

WARNING: USE EXTRA CAUTION WHEN USING GLOVES TO AVOID AN ACCIDENTAL/NEGLIGENT DISCHARGE.

3.3 | SAFETY MECHANISM

DELTA 5®

The safety is located at the rear of the action on the right hand side (FIGURE 3.2.1), and has two positions: SAFE and FIRE. Daniel Defense DELTA 5 Rifles utilize precision triggers with integrated safeties that block the trigger from engaging the sear. The safety is in the SAFE position when moved all the way to the rear (FIGURE 3.2.1), and in the FIRE position when pushed forward (FIGURE 3.2.2).

Note: The safety featured on Daniel Defense firearms is a mechanical safeguard. As with all mechanical systems, failures within this system are possible and may not be visible to the operator. Activating the safety selector lever to the “safe” position does not mean the firearm is incapable of firing if mishandled or dropped.

4.0 | FUNCTION

Daniel Defense DELTA 5 is a manually operated magazine fed firearm designed and manufactured to the highest level of precision and accuracy. This section will detail the function of this rifle, as well as key characteristics in its operation, such as installation/removal of the bolt assembly, loading of the magazine, and the mechanical process of firing.

DANIEL DEFENSE®

4.2 | AMMUNITION SELECTION

WARNING: NOT ALL AMMUNITION WILL PRODUCE THE SAME RESULTS.

Daniel Defense recommends that you only use high-quality, commercially available ammunition that is clean, dry, in good condition and of the appropriate caliber for your firearm. The use of remanufactured or hand-loaded ammunition is not recommended. If you have any questions about the suitability of a particular type of ammunition, please contact the ammunition manufacturer or Daniel Defense Technical Support for more information.

Note: Daniel Defense firearms that are chambered in .308 Winchester can safely fire both .308 Winchester and 7.62 X 51mm NATO ammunition.

All Daniel Defense firearms are designed to function with a variety of brands and types of factory-manufactured ammunition in the appropriate caliber. Ammunition, and in particular, the projectiles the ammunition is loaded with are designed for a particular task, such as long-range target shooting, frangible target shooting, personal/home defense, big-game hunting, varmint hunting, etc. It is important to choose ammunition that is appropriate for the application. Consult with the information provided by the ammunition manufacturer when choosing the appropriate ammunition.

WARNING: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE AMMUNITION (VELOCITY AND BULLET DESIGN) FOR THE INTENDED APPLICATION.

Daniel Defense recommends that after you read and understand this manual, you go to the range and fire different types of ammunition of the appropriate caliber and bullet design for your firearm and its intended use (target shooting, hunting, etc.). Once you find the ammunition that functions best for your application, keep using it. To protect you and others from danger, and your firearm from being severely damaged, Daniel Defense does not recommend the use of any hand-loaded or remanufactured ammunition.

DELTA 5® MANUAL P 13

4.4 | UNLOADING

WARNING: ALWAYS UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE AND PRIOR TO CLEANING AND STORAGE TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE.

TO UNLOAD:

IMPORTANT: READ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. KEEP YOUR FIREARM POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER AND KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE EJECTION PORT.

1. Set safety to the SAFE position.2. Remove magazine by depressing magazine release just forward of the trigger guard, and remove magazine from magwell.3. Lift bolt handle by rotating it up toward the top of the rifle, and retract bolt all the way to the rear of the action.

Remove remaining live rounds by sliding them forward out of the magazine.8. Collect live ammunition for safe storage and spent cartridge cases for disposal.

4.5 | FIRING THE RIFLE

When a Daniel Defense DELTA 5 is loaded, with a round in the chamber and the safety in the FIRE position, it is ready to fire. In this condition, the sear retains the cocking piece in the rearward position, compressing the spring of the firing pin assembly. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger actuates the sear and disengages it from the cocking piece. The firing pin assembly, no longer being held in place, moves forward suddenly under force of the compressed spring. The firing pin tip protrudes forward of the bolt face, striking the cartridge primer, which in turn detonates, igniting the gun powder within the cartridge. The expanding gasses of the burning gun powder generate tremendous pressure, forcing the bullet down the bore of the barrel. Rifling in the gun barrel bore imparts spin on the bullet, stabilizing it during flight once it exits the muzzle.

Before firing the rifle, practice your stance, sight picture, and breathing for steady aim with your firearm UNLOADED. Practice firing on a range before using your firearm for any other type of shooting.

WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR EAR PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING, ESPECIALLY ON A RANGE. WITHOUT EAR PROTECTION, THE NOISE FROM YOUR FIREARM AND OTHER FIREARMS CLOSE TO YOU COULD LEAVE A “RINGING” IN YOUR EARS FOR SOME TIME AFTER FIRING, WHILE THE CUMULATIVE LONG-TERM EFFECT COULD BE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS.

DANIEL DEFENSE®

WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR PROTECTIVE SHOOTING GLASSES. FLYING PARTICLES COULD DAMAGE EYES AND CAUSE BLINDNESS; PROTECTIVE SHOOTING GLASSES SHOULD PREVENT SUCH INJURY.

WARNING: READ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN SECTION 3. KEEP YOUR FIREARM POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER AND KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE EJECTION PORT.

1. Load the firearm as previously described.2. Grasp firearm with one hand on forearm and other hand on pistol grip with index finger resting along outside of trigger guard. Raise firearm and pull buttstock firmly into shoulder; adjust buttstock as necessary. (Alternatively, sit or lie prone, with the handguard supported by a rest, and pull buttstock firmly into shoulder with firing hand).3. Aim by aligning target with reticle of rifle scope.4. Move safety to FIRE.5. Keeping steady aim, place index finger on trigger and squeeze straight back until trigger releases the striker. Don’t jerk the trigger as you will disturb your aim and degrade your accuracy.6. To fire the second and subsequent rounds, grasp bolt handle and rotate the bolt up.7. Retract bolt all the way to the rear, ejecting the empty cartridge case.8. Push bolt forward, stripping next round from the magazine, until the bolt stops.9. Rotate the bolt handle back down, locking the bolt in place.10. The rifle can now be fired again. Repeat this process as necessary or until the magazine is empty.11. Release trigger, remove finger from trigger, and set safety to “SAFE.”

4.6 | ADJUSTABLE STOCK

CHEEK RISER (COMB) HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:Using the thumb screw initially located on the right side of the rifle, the user can adjust the cheek riser to the correct position for their needs (FIGURE 4.6.1).

1. Turn thumb screw left to loosen.2. Set cheek riser at desired height by manually moving it up or down.3. Turn thumb screw right to tighten, fixing the cheek riser in the set position.

NOTE: Grooves in either post facilitate use of an e-clip so that the desired height can be set when removing the cheek riser to remove the bolt.

CHEEK RISER OFF BORE AXIS ADJUSTMENT: 1. Tighten down the thumb screw to lock riser posts in place.2. Loosen two torx plus fasteners at the top of the cheek piece (FIGURE 4.6.2).3. Set desired angle and tighten both fasteners. Be careful not to over tighten.

Note: Two Torx Plus fasteners attach the clamp assembly to the stock. Left handed shooters can remove both screws to reverse the assembly and place thumb screw on the left side if desired. Fastener location is based in the separate clamp so that it can only be installed in the correct orientation.

BUTTPAD ADJUSTMENT:The buttpad and spacers of Daniel Defense Bolt Action Rifle stocks are designed to allow the buttpad and spacer assembly to move vertically up to 1 inch. Provisions in the stock prevent the buttpad assembly from moving too high and losing contact with the bottom fastener.

1. Loosen the two Torx Plus fasteners 2 turns at a time and adjust buttpad to desired height.2. To add the spacers, loosen the buttpad about ½” more than the desired spacer width and install spacers from the top, making sure the two tabs on the buttpad interface with the tab recesses in the spacer.3. Tighten down the two fasteners in 2 turn increments. The incremental turning prevents any possibility of the buttpad rubber separating from the substrate. NOTE: All Torx Plus fasteners are the same drive and a wrench is included with each rifle.

4.7 | MOUNTING A RIFLE SCOPE

Daniel Defense Bolt Action Rifles come standard with a 20 MOA MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) Rail attached to the top of the action (FIGURE 4.7.1). This allows for the mounting of Picatinny style rifle scope bases and rings. Follow the rifle scope manufacturer’s instructions for mounting to the rifle.

WARNING: ALLOW FOR PROPER EYE RELIEF WHEN POSITIONING A RIFLE SCOPE. UNDER RECOIL, A RIFLE SCOPE CAN STRIKE THE SHOOTER’S FACE IF POSITIONED TOO FAR BACK ON THE RIFLE.

5.0 | MAINTENANCE

Your Daniel Defense firearm will perform better, last longer and remain safer when it is properly maintained. Follow the instructions in this section to keep your firearm in good condition.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE MAGAZINE IS REMOVED AND THAT THE FIREARM IS UNLOADED SO THAT IT CANNOT BE FIRED.

WARNING: ALLOW FIREARM TO COOL TO ROOM TEMPERATURE.

WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES TO PROTECT YOUR EYES FROM NOT ONLY SOLVENTS AND OILS BUT ALSO PARTS THAT ARE UNDER SPRING TENSION WHICH CAN BE PROPELLED WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE SEVERE INJURY.

5.1 | FIELD STRIP

TO DISASSEMBLE THE RIFLE FOR CLEANING OR INSPECTION:1. Release detachable magazine.2. Lift bolt handle and retract to the rear.3. Verify that the chamber is empty and the bore is free from obstruction.4. Retract the bolt just short of the bolt stop located on the left of the receiver.5. Depress the bolt stop lever, and retract the bolt assembly clear of the action (FIGURE 4.1.2).

TO REASSEMBLE THE RIFLE:1. Depress bolt stop lever on left side of the receiver.2. Align bolt lugs to lug ways in the action, and slide bolt past bolt stop (FIGURE 4.1.1).3. Lock action into barrel, and then cycle the action a few times to ensure proper assembly.

5.2 | WHEN TO CLEAN

BEFORE FIRING, make sure that the barrel and the chamber are clean and dry. After firing, clean your firearm as soon as possible so that the job will be easier and there will be less opportunity for corrosion to start.

PERIODICALLY, when your firearm has not been fired, we suggest you clean it when necessary and at least once or twice a year in a temperate climate, or as often as once a week in a tropical climate.

IF YOU CARRY A LOADED FIREARM, unload it and clean when necessary and at least once a month. If you get your firearm wet, clean it as soon as possible.

5.3 | HOW TO CLEAN

MATERIALS: • Personal Protective Equipment: chemical-resistant gloves, mask, and eye protection • Good-quality cleaning rod (coated is preferable for protecting barrel) • Brass jag or loop of correct caliber (6.5mm = .260 caliber, 6mm Creedmoor, 7mm= .284 caliber, .308 WIN/7.62 NATO = .30 caliber) • Cotton bore-cleaning patches (cut to size to fit snuggly) • Cotton bore-cleaning patches (cut to size to fit snuggly in bore) • Nylon bore brush of correct caliber (see above for size) • Nylon chamber brush of correct caliber • Nylon bristle all-purpose cleaning brush or toothbrush • Firearm cleaning solution: Use only high-quality firearm cleaning solutions when cleaning your Daniel Defense firearm. There are many good options when it comes to cleaning your firearm. Check with the cleaning solution’s manufacturer to see if it is correct for your application, and be sure to follow their directions carefully.

DANIEL DEFENSE®

WARNING: BE SURE TO REMOVE OR NEUTRALIZE ANY AMMONIA-BASED

CLEANING SOLUTIONS FROM THE FIREARM AS THEY CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.

OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT: • Bore guide: this helps to prevent users from damaging the barrel by keeping cleaning rod in line with the bore. • Bore light: inserted at muzzle, a bore light will help user inspect rifling from the rear of receiver while keeping firearm pointed in a safe direction. • Chamber mop: helps clean chamber and lead more effectively than chamber brush alone. PROCEDURE:

WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE FIREARM IS NOT LOADED.

WARNING: ALLOW FIREARM TO COOL TO ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE ATTEMPTING CLEANING/MAINTENANCE.

WARNING: USE PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: GOGGLES, MASK, AND CHEMICAL GLOVES.

WARNING: IMPROPER CLEANING TECHNIQUES CAN PERMANENTLYDAMAGE FIREARM AND LEAD TO DEGRADATION IN ACCURACY AND REDUCED RELIABILITY.

WARNING: CLEANING FIREARMS, DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS, OR HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER HARMFUL SUBSTANCES WHICH ARE KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM, AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES. BE SURE TO ALWAYS WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER POSSIBLE EXPOSURE.

1. Strip for cleaning as previously described, removing the bolt assembly from the action. NOTE: Avoid contact between the cleaning rod and the muzzle as resultant wear will greatly reduce accuracy.

2. Attach a cotton flannel patch to end of the cleaning rod, insert it in the chamber and pass the rod and patch down through the barrel and out the muzzle. Remove used patches at muzzle to avoid pulling it back through the bore. Repeat, changing patches with each pass through the barrel, until the last patch comes out clean.

NOTE: Avoid pulling dirty patches back through the barrel.

3. Visually inspect the barrel; if it is clean, proceed directly with step 8, but if it remains dirty, continue with step 4.

DELTA 5® MANUAL P 19

NOTE: Items 4 & 5 should be applicable only after firing.

4. Attach nylon wire-bristle bore-cleaning brush to cleaning rod and dip brush in firearm-cleaning solution. Thoroughly scrub out barrel, passing the brush all the way through before reversing the movement. If you try to change direction with the brush in barrel, the brush can get stuck and cause damage to barrel.5. Attach the larger chamber-cleaning brush to the cleaning rod, dip the brush in bore-cleaning solution, and clean the chamber. Use a minimum of five plunge strokes and three 360° clockwise rotational strokes.6. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above.7. Use an all-purpose nylon cleaning brush and firearm-cleaning solution to clean all carbon and powder residue from inside the action, barrel extension, bolt locking lugs, extractor, and outside of the bolt assembly.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE A WIRE BRUSH ON ALUMINUM SURFACES SUCH AS THE MINI-CHASSIS AND BOTTOM METAL. IF CLEANING IS NECESSARY, AVOID SCRATCHES AND WEAR BY USING A SMALL NYLON BRUSH OR FLANNEL PATCH.

8. Wipe all components clean and dry and inspect them for excessive wear, corrosion or mechanical damage. If any of these conditions are discovered, have them corrected before firing again. (See Servicing and Repair later in this section.)9. Lightly dampen a flannel patch with gun oil and pass it once through the barrel, leaving a thin film of oil on the inside surface. Leave this film of oil on the surface if firearm is to be stored. If it is not being stored, or if it is being removed from storage for use, pass the dry patch through the barrel and chamber to remove as much excess oil as possible.10. Check that flannel or brush bristles have not become lodged in any part of firearm, then lightly lubricate (See Section 5.4).11. Remove any gun-cleaning solution and fingerprints from the outside surfaces of the firearm. (Finger moisture, if left, could start a corrosion process.)12. Reassemble the firearm: a. Depress bolt stop on left side of action, and slide bolt assembly in from the rear. b. Lock the bolt into the chamber. c. Cycle the action a few times to ensure proper function.

5.5 | CLEANING THE MAGAZINE

For all cleaning, maintenance, and care instruction, please refer to the magazine manufacturer.

5.6 | STORAGE

WARNING: ALWAYS UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM FOR STORAGE AND STORE AMMUNITION SEPARATELY.

Store your firearm and ammunition securely locked in separate locations out of the reach and sight of children. (Children are naturally curious and do not always believe or understand the real danger and responsibilities of firearms.)

Note: Do not store your firearm in an airtight container, and do not seal or attempt to seal the barrel to exclude dust, as an internal steel surface is more likely to corrode.

5.7 | SERVICING AND REPAIR

Should your firearm require adjustment or repair, make sure it is NOT LOADED and call Daniel Defense for specific instructions on where to send the firearm. For spare parts, seek advice from your dealer, who should have up-to-date information on how to best obtain genuine Daniel Defense parts. An illustration and list of part names are included in the next section of this instruction manual to help you identify the parts you need, but it is most important to note that all parts are not available for sale. Those parts that are available should be installed by Daniel Defense or by a competent gunsmith. When ordering parts, please provide the part name as it is given on the parts list along with the serial number of the firearm.

IMPORTANT: IF YOU MAKE UNAUTHORIZED ADJUSTMENTS OR USE UNAUTHORIZED PARTS, DANIEL DEFENSE WILL NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FUNCTIONING OF THIS FIREARM.

NOTE: this firearm is manufactured to perform properly with the original parts as designed. It is your duty to make sure any parts you buy are installed correctly and that neither replacements nor originals are altered or changed. This is why sending it back to the manufacturer is highly recommended. Your firearm is a complex tool with many parts that must relate correctly to other parts. Putting a firearm together incorrectly or with modified parts can result in a damaged firearm and danger, injury, or death to you and others through malfunction. Always let a qualified gunsmith work on your firearm and check any work you think was not performed by a gunsmith. We at Daniel Defense think this is a small price to pay for firearms safety.
